issue formatting out put

Question

i have an app that stores text from a form, in a data base field called RESPONSE. the form field is either a text input or textarea. My issue is that the customer enters both paragraph text and list text in the same field. When i out put this in report they want to see:

some text, some text some text some text some text

item 1
item 2
item 3
and currently they see two paragraph on with the list items strung end to end.

is there a way that i can take the data and on out putting it display the paragraph as a paragraph and the list items as a list?

currently using paragraphFormat(response) which works great as long as response is not a list.

any suggestions?

Doing it this way: #replace(HTMLEditFormat(response), chr(10), "
", "all")#has the following advantages.It will display more or less as entered.Javascript will display instead of execute.Angle brackets used as math symbols will display properly.
